Over in [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/t/29843/the-massachusetts-thread/0_30]another thread[/URL] it looked like we were getting enough people interested in a New England-area outing sometime this Spring or Summer (or both, weather pending), so here's the thread for discussion. I figure we'll hammer out who's interested in attending, then decide when and where. Obviously, nothing has to be decided right away since there's over a foot of snow outside more of our windows. :~( I put this in the New England Golfers group (which apparently exists and I created), that way I, and anyone who wants to be a Group Leader, can send PMs to the whole group. Anyone can join the group and participate in the thread. If you're wondering, "hey, how does this type of thread work?" or "what should I expect?," here's a few threads to check out: SoCal http://thesandtrap.com/t/70859/tst-socal-winter-outing-feb-16-2014-goose-creek/0_30 http://thesandtrap.com/t/67969/tst-socal-golfers-fall-2013-outing-10-13-oak-quarry-riverside-ca http://thesandtrap.com/t/66256/thesandtrap-socal-golfers-summer-2013-outing-discussion/0_30 http://thesandtrap.com/t/63734/thesandtrap-socal-golfers-spring-2013-outing-discussion http://thesandtrap.com/t/63055/december-16th-socal-golfers-golf-tourney-now-sponsored-by-callaway-golf/0_30 NorCal http://thesandtrap.com/t/69542/tst-norcal-golfers-outing/0_30 Pitt/Erie/Cleveland http://thesandtrap.com/t/67534/first-annual-pittsburgh-erie-cleveland-get-together-august-3/0_30 Anyway, post if you're interested, then we can start thinking about dates and courses. :banana:

Is this thing dead? I'm just wondering, because if it's close enough, I could make a day trip of it. It sounds like everyone has a lot of fun at these things, so I'd like to join in, too.

Definitely not dead! I think the fact that I posted it at 1AM kind of prevented it from gaining any momentum. Plus it's still so cold and snowy, golf is the last thing on everyone's minds.

*That comment should kill the thread for at least another two weeks...

I'll keep an eye on this one. I am in MA often visiting the in laws and we are trying to move up there once we can find work. So if the timing works out I'll definitely try to make it.

I could just move it there if that's easier. More people might see it.

That would take it out of the groups.

I'll link to it.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
